What Is a Retention Period?

It is the time Huawei Cloud provides for a customer to renew or repay when the yearly/monthly resources are still not renewed, the pay-per-use resources are still in arrears, or the overdue bills are still not paid off. Within the retention period, you cannot access or use your cloud service but your data stored in the cloud service is still retained. After a resource enters a retention period, Huawei Cloud will notify you of this by email or text message. If you still do not complete the renewal or payment after the retention period has ended, your data stored in the cloud service will be deleted and the resource will be released.
